Commercial Description:
Don't let Tripel's light color and delicate aroma fool you, this is one serious beer brewed with maximum effort. First, we introduce freshest barley to crystal filtered water. Second, we add the best hops shipped directly for Europe. Third, our special yeast is the catalyst for fermentation, gobbling sugar and creating alcohol as it works. Some say that the Belgian monks who first brewed this style called it triple to denoted its high alcohol content. Still others believe triple's origins lay in its triple fermentation; twice in the brewery and once in the bottle. Whatever the answer, ours is the Tripel threat.

Pours a two finger off-white head that faded quickly to a ring leaving some lace. Clear light amber color with floaties. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Light caramel nose. Flavor is caramel and hops nicely balanced, hints of the higher ABV. $6.49 for a 22oz bottle from Manchester Wine and Liquors Manchester, CT.

Pours out a clear yellow with a small white head. Light citrus aroma that is a bit funky. The taste isn’t at all what I expected and the alcohol is very noticeable. Other than that it had some spices present in the taste and a tiny bit of hoppyness.

The aroma is lacking, the taste is lacking. I got a slightly skunky aroma, so maybe its an old bottle. What aromas do come through, some spice, coriander. Taste is similar, some citrus, yeasty, some general malt too. Unimpressive for the style.

bottle courtesy of cletus. pours a nice slightly fuzzy orange with a 1 finger white, thick, creamy head. very sweet malty nose, with some doughy notes. flavor is decent, seems more like a euro strong lager with the sweetness and all. leaves a heavy surypy sweety after taste.

Traded bomber bottle. Overall, good but simple. Alcohol was more than a little noticeable in the aroma and flavour. More sweet expected. Certainly not bad though.
